In addition to extensive corporate, academic, and personal writing, editing, and proofreading, I taught writing, literature, and interdisciplinary studies at George Mason University for 7 years prior to establishing Stylus in 1999, and maintain memberships with The Modern Language Association and The National Council of Teachers of English.

I have written, edited, proofread, or done a combination of the three for the types of media and documents listed below.   For web sites I also offer HTML coding, content development (text and layout assistance prior to the site going live), and content management (changes to the site after it goes live).   Please click on the links below for selected samples.
